For Families
The Center for Family Research (CFR) at the University of Georgia has been forming partnerships with rural communities to improve the lives of African Americans for over 25 years. Under the leadership of Dr. Gene Brody, we work closely with families, schools, and community leaders to understand better the challenges that different rural African American families face and the ways in which they overcome these challenges. We are grateful for the thousands of family members who have trusted us enough to share their life experiences through our research studies.
The Center is not an agency that provides services to families, but we do want to be a resource for families. This page is dedicated to providing general information about our research and sharing resources for physical and mental well-being that are particularly relevant for African Americans.
